The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They were very friendly and attentive. The ziplinning experience is a must! The thermal river and pools were even better than expected. The mix of luxury, relaxation, and activities were exactly what we wanted in a trip to Central America. From hiking to the spa experience, can't express how perfect this was.

We had an amazing stay at Rio Perdido. The grounds are beautiful. We saw monkeys, an armadillo, and lots of beautiful birds. The dining was delicious and the staff were all so friendly and accommodating. The road getting there is a little daunting with all of the potholes, but that just made it even more of an adventure :)

Property is very nice. Unfortunately there was a lot of rain so the hot springs were flooded and closed. The pools at the hotel were mildly warm, but not what you expect from a 5-star hot spring resort.

Rio Perdido: Solo Trip Approved!
Rio Perdido was a great choice for my first time solo trip! The highlights were: staff were attentive and well-trained, they present a plethora of activities to participate in, and the meals were, fresh, nutritious & tasty. As a first time solo traveler, I had privacy and appropriate camaraderie from the RP Team. Daniela was a complete jewel as she was very attentive and knowledgeable of the campus and surrounding area. Johan was an amazing server with a cheerful demeanor who made dinner time enjoyable. Oscar was skilled and polite as he gave perfect instructions and carefully guided us through a memorable canyoning adventure- the ziplining is an unforgettable time and very well planned. The bungalows are full of character; I had the pleasure of experiencing two- east and center. The east bungalow is the smaller space, but the hammocks were a joy to have readily available on the patio area. The center bungalows are the upgrade for sure regarding space & amenities. I absolutely adored the private outdoor shower space- it felt like bathing under an open heaven in the jungle- I must have bathed three times a day just to enjoy the splendor of it all. The bungalows felt very private, which was a plus as well. The pool area and swim up bar were fantastic, & the menu was wonderful. My massage was PERFECT! The entire experience was amazing to be in the heart of the jungle while still experiencing luxury. It was like capturing a little glimpse of heaven. A must return for sure!
